Thank you, Helen. Those were the only letters with the neon tubes left intact. The sign is gone now. These day to night photos I have done remind me of the old Nancy Drew mystery books. This one could be “The Mystery at the Old Motel”. Lol

Since it is the first day of spring - this is my last winter scene. Local round barn & my photo of the moon & sky and a bird brush from ?. Added a snow texture. i.ibb.co/VSmXm3T/DSC-6935.jpg |

That's a great end to winter, Judy! The shadows work well with the position of the moon.

Thanks Helen. It's a little dark. Hard to judge that....

In that truck's day, the roads were a lot worse than today; narrow, crooked, no shoulders, even more poorly marked than today. The truck is probably a six-volt system running a pitiful 5- or so Amp generator instead of an alternator; give it some gas and the lights liven up a bit; let off the gas and they dim back down. From the looks of those headlights, you would have to strike a match to see if they were lit. Due to the generator barely being able to keep the lights on, it probably has vacuum wipers; vacuum wipers will completely quit for a mile or so; and then, wipe ninety miles an hour for a mile or so before quitting again. A heater was an option; and, if the original owner bought it in the summertime, he may have not opted for the heater, so no defrost either. I bet the driver wishes he had stayed at home by the fire. |

Thanks for the interesting info, Buckskin. I have used this truck in a few of my photos as I have it from a few different angles. I love the green color it still retains. Don’t know if it still runs.

I took this  It's such a cool door.....I only discovered it recently.....I wonder what it was used for? I may see if I can find out! Better take the bolt-cutters, a good flashlight, and a rat club. I really like that door. No doubt in an attempt to get in, some idiot has pried loose and disfigured the iron strapping that binds the rounded top of the wood. |

BuckSkin I will send you a PM about that door so this Day/night thread doesn't get off track.

Beautiful, Judy! Would make a nice Christmas card....horse and buggy was a great addition. You are really perfecting this technique.
